In general, this means that before each class session, you will watch the appropriate assigned portions of the course video or CD-ROM.

In addition, you agree to:
1. Follow all course procedures as set forth by the instructor
2. Ask questions about anything not understood

You will be responsible for any additional costs and/or inconveniences this causes. In scheduling and determining additional costs, Sandia Snorkel and Scuba, Inc. agrees to give every reasonable consideration to unforeseen events, such as family emergencies that lead to this situation.

We Never Give Up Policy
We want you to know that we are genuinely concerned with your individual needs and interest regarding diving.
We set you up to succeed, one step at a time.
The "Standard Package Program" revolves around a two (2) back-to-back weekends schedule.
Although the pace and the format fits most of our customers, there may be some extra charges to reach your goal to become an Open Water Diver. This particularly, if additional classroom or pool time is called for.
Please see our Miscellaneous Charges Page. If you complete all course work as assigned, arrive for class promptly as scheduled and otherwise follow directions for learning given by the instructors, Sandia Snorkel and Scuba, Inc. accepts responsibility for learning challenges.
Course objectives must be met before you are certified. Sandia Snorkel and Scuba, Inc. will schedule additional training session. In situations like this, there may be some minor charges for instructor time, equipment rental and pool fees until   a) You master the course objective or   b) You voluntarily discontinue the course. In this case there is no refund of the course fee.
After a significant break, returning student divers, you may be asked to do a classroom and/or a pool review before continuing the Open Water Training Dives.
